Robbie Williams becomes largest investor in Tickets for Good

Singer-songwriter Robbie Williams has become the largest investor in Tickets for Good, a platform providing free and heavily discounted tickets for live events to the UK’s public health service (NHS) and charity-sector workers. 

Williams’ investment was part of a seed funding round, which has raised £500,000 (€585,000) so far for the business and is expected to close at the end of this month. 

Existing investors in the platform include Bethnal Green Ventures and US accelerator Comcast NBCUniversal SportsTech. 

Williams, who has sold 80 million albums worldwide and had 14 number one singles (with Take That and as a solo artist), said: “Supporting access to the arts is a cause close to my heart. The magic of live entertainment is something everyone should be able to benefit from, so I’m thrilled to be working with Tickets For Good.”
